and it's also what wm's need most. wm's seem to have, by force of numbers,
taken it for themselves, so i guess the apps need to use meta, super, hyper
etc. or find a way to not NEED many modifier + mouse combinations.

apps are free to use ctrl+alt+mouse or alt+shift+mouse, ctrl+shift+mouse, shift
+mouse, ctrl+mouse (and then any other combos of meta, super, and hyper with
mouse too in addition to these).
